Types of Apologetics Systems is the title of the new book written
by Dr. Ramm, professor of philosophy at Bethel.
This book, "an introductory study of the Christian Philosophy of
Religion," was completed by the Christmas of 1951 and published this
month, February, 1953. It is a study of nine great philosophers of
religion, each representing a different approach to the subject of apolo-getics.
The book is divided into three sections of three men each.
Included are: Soren Kierkegaard, Thomas Aquinas, Edward John Car-nell,
and others.
Dr. Ramm dedicated the book to Rev. Eric N. Lindholm, pastor of
the Bethlehem Baptist church in Minneapolis, who read the entire
manuscript before it was published. Mr. Robert Otto, former assistant
professor of philosophy at Bethel, also helped in the reading of the
manuscript.
Problems in Christian Apologetics, another book by Dr. Ramm,
was published in 1947. He is now working on a book dealing with science
and the Bible.

Tenth Annual Founders eek Begins Monday
Two Bethel Debate Teams Rank High
In Northwest Area College Meet
Two of our debate teams ranked Bethel over all twenty of the other
schools participating in the men's division of a tournament held at Con-cordia
College in Moorhead on February 6 and 7, The meet included
thirty-three teams from colleges
and universities in five states.
One Bethel team, Robert Hilton
and Wendell Anderson, was among
three to have six wins and no loss-es.
Since the other two (one from
North Dakota State Teacher's Col-lege
and the other from South
Dakota State Teacher's College)
had more points, Hilton and Anderson
received third place.
Roger Bergeson, Ronald Palosaari
and Don Richardson alternated
to comprise the other Bethel male
team. They won five out of six
rounds giving Bethel eleven wins
and one loss, a record unmatched
by any other school at the tournament.
At a women's tournament held
at the same time at Moorhead
State Teacher's College, Bethel's
freshmen girls won three out of
twelve debates in major competition.
The women debaters taking
part were: Gloria Nelson, Barbara
Ware, Jean Seldon, and Helen J.
Peterson.
Sem Class Plans
Winter Retreat
The junior class of the Seminary
is planning a winter retreat for
the members of their class. At the
last class meeting a committee was
elected to investigate possibilities
to be reported back to the class
at their next meeting. The committee
consisted of Kenneth Gull-man,
Douglas Dahlquist, and Richard
Dahlquist. • Tentative plans
have been disclosed by President
Kenneth Gullman, to wit: The
time: March 27-28, The place:
Little Camp Among the Hills, located
on Medicine Lake, Minne-sota,
The price: $4.00 per person.
The class would leave Friday after-noon

Student Book Exchange
Is New Campus Service
Offered By Bookstore
Mrs. Walfred Peterson, manager
of the Bethel bookstore, announced
today the innovation of a used-book
exchange. The bookstore will have
a list of books which can be placed
on the Student Book Exchange
shelves.
Before the books can be placed
on the shelves, a blank must be
filled out and stapled to the fly-leaf
of the book. Mrs. Peterson said
that the usual reduction for a used
book is 25% of the original cost,
but the student sets the price he
wants for the book.
The handling charge for the ex-change
books is to be 10% of the
selling price of the book. After a
prescribed length of time, which
the bookstore will specify, all
books that haven't been sold must
be removed from the shelves and
the money for the books that have
been sold will be paid.
Books that will no longer be
used at Bethel can be sold to
wholesalers; this list will also be
in the bookstore.
The Student Book Exchange is
ready for operation immediately.
Coming from Chicago as guest
speakers are Dr. A. W. Tozer, pas-tor
of the large Missionary Alliance
church of South Chicago; and Dr.
Clarence Nelson, president of
North Park College. Rev. E. A.
Tebay of California, comes to speak
throughout the week on "Steward-ship"
and the implied Christian
responsibilities.
FACULTY MEMBERS
TO BE USED
Of the Bethel faculty, Dr. Ber-nard
Ramm and Dr. W. Robert
Smith, are scheduled for several
day sessions and one night session
each. Dr. Virginia Lowell Grabill
speaks at one day session at which
she will give "a layman's criticism
of the sermon." Dr. Grabill said
she will expose the dull uninspir-ing
sermon and give the pastors
hints on sharpening up the content
and the delivery of their sermons.
Other speakers to appear during
the week are Dr. Earl V. Pierce,
retired Minneapolis pastor, now a
prominent lecturer on Christian
dogma, and Dr. Curtis Akenson,
pastor of The First Baptist church
of Minneapolis.
PANEL IS FEATURED
A feature of the week's program
is a discussion panel scheduled for
the closing hour on Monday, Tues-day,
and Wednesday, when mem-bers
of the seminary faculty will
present discussion on contempor-ary
theological issues, possibly in-cluding
the history of Bible trans-lations.
BANQUET ON OPENING DAY
Rather than climaxing the week's
activities as it has in the past,
the usual Founder's Week banquet
is. on the opening day, Monday, at
6:00 p.m., at the Bethlehem Bap-tist
church, Minneapolis. Rev. Gor-don
Johnson, pastor of the Central
Ave. Baptist church of Chicago, is
the speaker.
BASKETBALL GAME INCLUDED
As part of the scheduled activi-ties
is a Bethel basketball game
against the Northwestern Schools
of Minneapolis, at 4:00 p.m. Thurs-day.
The purpose is to acquaint
the pastors with the facilities of
the new field-house auditorium.
Students are urged to attend as
well as visiting guests.
Chapel speakers, tentatively
planned for by Dr. Wingblade, will
be Dr. Ramm, Smith, Tozer, and
Nelson. All music for the week
will be provided for by the Bethel
choral groups.
Rev. E. A. Tebay
Conference Pastors Welcomed;
Annual Banquet Monday Night
Pastors from Conference churches throughout the land will be on
campus next week for the tenth annual Founder's Week observance.
Guest speakers as well as members of the Bethel faculty will bring
messages concerning the general theme—"Faithfulness to the Trust."
For the visiting pastors, each day starts with a 9 a.m. prayer forum
lasting until chapel time. Sessions will continue through the day,
until 5 p.m., separated by the usual class bells.
Only one evening session is planned each night this year. Starting
at 7:30 p.m., they will be held in different Twin City churches each
evening as follows: Monday—Bethlehem Baptist church, Minneapolis;
Tuesday—Payne Ave. Baptist church, St. Paul; Wednesday—Elim Bap-tist
church, Minneapolis; Thursday—Central Baptist church, St. Paul.
The climaxing service Friday night is tentatively planned for the
gymnasium auditorium on campus, however, a change might be an-nounced
during the week.

THE CLARION Friday, Feb. 13, 1953
Editorial
"Meet you in the student center," is a
reply that lately may be found coming
from the lips of most Bethelites. I have
received many comments and suggestions
concerning a name for our now-called "stu-dent
center."
First let us consider why the present
name is not adequate. We may boldly as-sert
that the student center is not entirely
a student center. Faculty members, ad-ministration,
and "friends of Bethel" spend
proportionally as much time in the center
as students. And to be sure the average
benevolent Bethel student wouldn't be-grudge
his superiors the luxurious and
beautiful facilities of the center.
Our dormitories each have the name of
one of our Founders. The use of these
names—Bodien, Hagstrom, and Edgren—in
connection with the buildings definitely
adds prestige to the college and all its
constituents. Our college, seminary, library
and fieldhouse have less distinguished
names. They are called the college, the
seminary, the library, and the fieldhouse,
respectively.
A customary practice of many institutions
is to honor a wealthy person who has do-nated
a large sum of money for the par-ticular
building, by naming it with his
family name. There has been, at least to
my knowledge, no such donation for our
student center so it would appear we would
have to look elsewhere.
The advertising staff of the CLARION
incorporated a proverbial saying, formulat-ed
by some girls in Bodien Residence, into
the student center advertisement by say-ing
"Where the Royals Roost." Whether the
name of Royal Roost should be adopted is
a question of less significance than the one
that would decide to have its present name
changed.
This observer is grateful to see some
initiative being exhibited by these Bodien
residents. Perhaps the English department
would object to "Royal Roost" since the
term is a mixed metaphore, but I am con-fident
those difficulties could be worked
out. I believe all Bethel would be grateful
if an organization or person took the initia-tive
to enact such a naming. Perhaps a
contest would provide a variety of names
from which one could be chosen.

voices, under the direction of Paul J.
Christiansen, has just completed a 12-state
tour, including a performance at Carnegie
hall, New York City. The director is the
son of F. Melius Christiansen, founder and
director of the famous St. Olaf college
choir.
Bethel Awaits North Central Association Decision
Ed. note: In response to a query concerning the examining committee from
the North Central Association the Editor received the following letter from Dean
C. E. Carlson.
Dear Roy:
Thank you for offering some space in your next issue in which to express
my viewpoints regarding the prospects of membership in the North Central As-sociation.
We are all interested in the program of the school because—well, just
because we are Bethelites, and all Bethelites are interested in their school.
The grapevine is not always wrong. The genial guests of this ,
week were examining representatives of the North Central Associa-tion.
They spent two days with us and, undoubtedly, heard and
saw a great many things during those days, including some un-made
beds. Their observations will be turned into a written re-port
during the next several weeks and as such will be made
available to the Association's Board of Review, which already has
collected much information about the school.
Those of us who know most about the criteria being used, and
about the strengths and the weaknesses of our own school are
keeping our minds open as to how soon our new four-year college
program will be ready for admission to the North Central. We be-lieve
that our students too are with us in this open-mindedness.
Everybody knows that we have a good student body, and the examiners were
duly impressed. We know too that we do have a good faculty, even though some
of them are neither bald nor bearded. We do have a splendid library—it has
books, and the like—and it is paid for too! Our new fieldhouse is excellent, but
it is not all paid for as yet. Obviously, we as an administration are an unknown
quantity, but so are all administrations—even at Washington. Our courses are
solid, well-organized, and challenging, but we do not offer nearly as much as Sears
Roebuck catalog.
As we look backwards, we are amazed to see how the Lord has led and pro-vided.
As we look forward, our concern is that we might be faithful. Fortunately,
the value of the students educational experiences on campus, whether seen in
terms of lives or in terms of transcripts, is not at stake. The only question is—how
fast is the Lord leading into wider spheres of service? Toward the finding of the
Lord's answer to that question we know that we have the united prayers and
efforts of students, faculty, administration, board, and a host of friends from
coast to coast.

6144 gefitide4 by Dr. Virgil A. Olson
In the later part of the nineteenth century, an ancient manuscript was dis-covered
in Egypt by some English research scholars. The treasure of the manu-script
remained hidden because there was much disagreement among the translators
as to the actual meaning of the hieroglyphics. Finally, it was suggested that a copy
of the manuscript be sent to an able scholar of Egyptology in America, namely
John Alexis Edgren. After careful study, Edgren submitted a translation which
the English scholars immediately approved; so much so, that the Archbishop of
Canterbury wrote a letter to Edgren commending
him on his masterful translation. Edgren, the
founder of Bethel, was an intellectual giant. The
son of this Conference Baptist pioneer testifies
that his father knew sixteen spoken and sixteen
unspoken languages.
Edgren had a tremendous capacity for work.
in the early days of the Seminary history, most
of the subjects were taught by its leader. Beside
the heavy teaching program, Edgren found time
and energy to be the pastor of the First Swedish
Baptist Church of Chicago, the editor of the
first denominational paper of our Conference;
and he took courses in Greek and Hebrew,
as well as a review of Higher Mathematics at
the University of Chicago. Edgren was a giant
in zealous toil and industry.
One morning Edgren came to his class at the
Seminary and expressed deep concern for the
future of the school. Funds were desperately
needed. That day studies were laid aside, and
prayer was made unto the living God to supply
the needs. The students became anxious over
the teacher's condition and went to his home
and learned that their leader had received_no salary for two months. Their first
impulse was to write to the people in the churches and tell of the needs, but
Edgren reminded them that they had prayed, and that was enough. The following
day the instructor appeared bright and happy. "Brethren," he said, "God has heard
our prayers, we now have received money." This was not an isolated incident,
but a daily experience. Bethel was born and nurtured in prayer. Edgren was a
spiritual giant of faith.
"There were giants in the earth in those days." One man with gigantic intel-lectual
and spiritual capacities laid the foundaion of our school as a wise master
builder. The words of the Apostle, consequently, are significant for the present
generation. "Let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon."

Said the great Samuel Johnson: "Your
friendship, sir, must be kept in constant
repair."
I am sure that all our pastors, young and
a little older, realize that. And that is one
reason why they gather at Bethel for Foun-der's
Week each year—to fellowship anew
with former classmates and fellow mini-sters.
It warms the heart and instills added
courage.
But there must be
something more. They
want messages that stir
and challenge as they
are aware that their vo-cation
is no ordinary
one but requires a con-stant
surcharging of
eternal varieties and a
new infilling from Him
who said, "Except ye
eat my flesh and drink
my blood ye have no
life in you."
And then for their service they are to
be reminded again that they themselves
must be "broken bread and poured out
wine" if they are to be the means of bring-ing
new life to others.
We thank God for the splendid speakers
who are to present the messages, and for
those who are to be "hearers and doers"
of the Word. But we are most thankful
for Him who alone is able to bring these
things about, and to bless.
And so may we truly exalt Him in every
session of the Founder's Week program—
and deep in our hearts.
A sincere welcome on the part of all
Bethel to every visitor. Welcome to all
that the campus can offer, to every session,
to the new student center, and welcome to
mingle for a while with the throbbing
young life on our campus—the most prec-ious
treasure under Christ that our Con-ference
affords.

It was a beautiful morning. The sail was
smiling brightly through the fleecy, white
clouds in the blue, blue sky.
Robby awoke with a start. Why here the
day was almost one-fourth gone and in-'
stead of being busy about his work, he was
wasting the time sleeping. He started to
go back to sleep, but then arose with a
start—why he had almost forgotten. This
was the day—the day in which he was to
make one of the most important decisions
of his life. This was the day his mom and
dad had been telling him about for days,
weeks, yes, and even months. How he had
waited for the day with a mixed emotion
of fear and anxiety.
Anxiety because if he was successful in
his adventure, it would mean happiness
and joy for the rest of his life. And—if
he failed—Oh—the thought of it just made
his skinny, little legs tremble. If he failed,
he would be very unhappy and lonely.
When Robby looked up into the sky, he
saw Old Mr. Sun just smiling at him in such
an encouraging way that he hopped up
quickly, determined to succeed. Robby
knew that first impressions were very im-portant
so he looked for the biggest, fattest
gift he could find and then started on
his way.
He was hopping along singing a gay little
ditty when all of a sudden he saw her.
Robby knew in a minute she was for him—
and suddenly he wasn't even frightened
anymore. He just hopped right up to her,
gave her his gift, and in less than half an
hour they were flying over to Rev. Love-bird's
house to hear him say—"I now pro-nounce
you Mr. and Mrs. Robin Redbreast."
Yes, fantastic though it may seem, the
idea behind this little fictitious incident
was the beginning of our Valentine's Day.
It was an ancient belief that the birds
mated on the second fort-night of the sec-ond
month of the year.
"For this was on seynt Valentynes day,"
wrote Chaucer in the "Parle.ment of
Foules," "when every foul cometh ther to
chese his make." Because of this ancient
belief, for many years it has been the cus-tom
in many countries to send Valentines
to the one we wish to please.

Dear Editor,
What happened to the Arts
Club? Why has it become disorgan-ized?
Is there any hope of reviving
it?
The Arts Club was organized in
the fall of 1951, as an outgrowth
of the "Lads and Lassies" and
"Lords and Ladies." They were
collegiate social societies, begun in
1948 and dissolved by the student
council in 1951 on the grounds
that there was too much competi-tive
spirit and that they did not
fulfill their intended cultural pur-pose.
It seems to me that this kind of
a spirit would serve as an incen-tive
to the club leaders to really
plan and make their meetings as
interesting as possible. If the meet
ings amounted to something and
were profitable for the students,
there would be no problem of get-ting
them interested in the club.
Since it began in the fall of
1951, the Arts Club suffered and
finally died from a lack of leader-ship.
This lack came not only from
the student body, but also from
the faculty, who, I'm quite sure,
recognize the need for a cultural
club of this sort on our campus.
We are told ever so often that we
need to be well rounded culturally
—and we do—but what have we
done to bring this culture within
the grasp of the students?
A feeble attempt was made in
the person of the Arts Club—and
frankly, it flopped.
The Arts Club is dead. Other
schools have profitable cultural
clubs—but not Bethel. We seem to
be satisfied with little more than
our language clubs and a pepless
pep club.
We need the Arts Club at Beth-el.
But it's dead, so what are we
going to do about it?

SWEDISH CLUB
The Swedish Club recently made
a visit to the American-Swedish
Institute in Minneapolis for their
monthly meeting. This institute is
the former home of a Swedish
newspaper man, built exclusively
of materials sent from Sweden.
The carvings in the woodwork were
done over a period of six years by
fifteen professional carvers, and
all the woodwork is mahogany or
bleached mahogany and walnut.
Typical Swedish rooms were dis-played
and against this display is
the featuring of modern Swedish
furnishings including electrical
equipment, wood carvings, and
furniture.
After a two-hour tour of this
mansion, the students followed the
Swedish tradition of "coffee and
doughnuts" before returning to
Bethel.
GERMAN CLUB
Club members will give a skit
from the one act play, "Einer
Muss Heiraten!" (One Must Marry)
by Alexander Wilhemi at the Ger-man
club meeting Wednesday, Feb-ruary
25. In the comedy, two bach-elors,
Jakob (Phil Caldeen) and
Wilhem (Dexter Kile) will inherit
a fortune if one of them marries.
Both are devout students, interest-ed
only in books. Tante (Joyce
Martinson) influences them and in
the end they both want to marry
Louise (Martha Tieszen).
Shirley Kilgore and Frank Voth
will sing solos at this meeting
which will be held following the
lunch hour in the lounge of Bodien
residence.
For the purpose of enhancing
the library, a member of the Beth-el
faculty has contributed money
for the planters which have been
placed in the front of the library.
These planters not only serve as
means of decoration and a fine
separation for the magazine sec-tion,
but they are also for the dis-play
of books. On the bottom of
one planter is found a / group of
books mainly for recreational read-ing,
whereas the other shelf con-tains
new books which have just
arrived in the library.
In addition to these planters, the
library will also receive framed,
colored prints which will be hung
in appropriate places above book
shelves.
Not included in the donation to
the library, but a new purchase, is
the 11-foot index table which will
be placed at the top of the stair-way
to the stacks. This table will
have space for the different per-iodical
indexes as well as for
atlases.
Also being installed soon will be
the new periodical rack in the
seminary section, making possible
more room for magazines.
The recent displays on the stand
above the reference shelves have
included new books, music, art,
and the current feature is the
pamphlets available to students.
The reason for these displays is to
acquaint students with library
equipment and services available
through the library.
The CLARION staff in apprecia-tion,
on behalf of all Bethel, says,
"Thanks, Dr. Bob, for the beauti-ful
planters."

Plan For Meeting
by Fred Thomas
Hey fellas! Are you interested
in badminton, volleyball, handball
and softball? Our spring Intramur-al
program will soon be getting
under way and we would appreci-ate
your interest in it, as your
interest has been in basketball.
We would like to have each pre-sent
team select a representative
to attend a meeting, which will be
announced soon, at which we will
discuss the possibilities of an all-out
spring program. Norris Mag-nuson
and Arvid Berg will conduct
the business, but any idea or sug-gestion
will be gladly accepted and
will be talked over with the
representatives. You tell us what
you want and we will try to plan
accordingly.
Oh, yes! Iowa remained in first
place by defeating West. Mich.-
Wise., East and West are tied for
second, followed by Minnesota in
third and last but not least is the
mighty m ini.

Northland Downs
Blue and Gold
Last Saturday evening Northland
college of Ashland, Wisconsin, de-feated
the Royals, 70-67, in a last
minute thriller.
A tight zone defense and control
of the backboards kept the Bethel
five guessing during the entire con-test.
Olson and Durkin led the North-land
attack with 18 and 17 points,
respectively. Pete Unruh scored 23
for the home team to take over

Bombers Defeat
Fourth Baptist
The Bombers carried their win-ning
streak to two in a row last
Thursday night by defeating the
Fourth Baptist church team 62-51
in a game witnessed by only a
handful of spectators. Coach Fisch-er
thought some of his boys be-longed
in the circus as he watched
them clown around on the hard-wood
courts trying to impersonate
the famed Globe-trotters. Big Jim
MacFayden continued to look like
a ball player as he dropped in 19
points and rebounded with sup-reme
accuracy.
This Saturday night. the Bomb-ers
will be playing Elim Baptist
men's team which has as two of
its star players Dick "Bones"
Bandy and Don "Dead-eye" Dye.
Although Elim will probably be
the underdog, the Jr. Varsity will
have to play keen basketball in
order to secure their third victory
in a row. Game begins at 6:15.
Bethel led throughout most of
the contest but Northland took
over in the final quarter and the
Blue and Gold were unable to
catch the opponents.
even the score.
The other reason for seeking
vengance is the loss handed the
Royals by the wood cutters last
Saturday night at Northland, 70-67.
Northland's zone defense, effec-tive
in bottling up Bethel's center,
Paul Redin, last Saturday, has been
one of the objectives to overcome
in practice sessions this week.
The Lumberjacks claim an inch
and a half advantage per player
in heighth which is effective in
controlling the rebounds. Defen-sively
the Royals held their own
against the Northmen Saturday but
found trouble in getting their
share of offensive rebounds.
Tom Mason, deadly set-shot art-ist
on the Northland team is the
main scoring threat. He leads a
well balanced scoring attack from
the forward slot.
Bethel's record now stands at
nine defeats and seven wins and
a victory tomorrow night will aid
in attaining more wins than losses.
Jim MacFayden, quickly improv-ing
Bethel center, who played his
first varsity game last Saturday
may see action again tomorrow
night.
Northwestern Schools of Min-neapolis
and the Bethel Royals
continue their rivalry next

Lumberjacks and Royals
Clash Tomorrow Night

Northland, one of Bethel's top rivals, now holds a four to three
victory advantage over the Royals in past seasons play and the Blue
For the remainder of the basketball season the Royals
without the services of their star guard and co-captain, Bud
Bud has found it necessary to quit basketball to devote more
his studies and to his work.
Bud has played for the Blue and
Gold for the past four seasons and
is in all likelihood the best all-around
player to ever don a Bethel
uniform.
In his first season at Bethel, Bud
played varsity ball along with Ken
Greenman, Gordy Wood, B u d
Bjorndahl and Don Peterson under
coach Paul Edwards. Two years
ago he captained the Bethel team
and was elected by his teammates
to serve as co-captain this year
along with Pete Unruh.
Standing only 5'8" tall, Bud has
harrassed opponents by his ball-hawking
and ball-handling and has
always been a scoring threat. Bud's
14.8 point average led the Royals
in scoring two years ago.
Bethel players respect him, not
only for his playing ability but also
for his sportsmanship and self-con-trol.
Seemingly most effective un-der
pressure, Bud's teammates can
testify that they can never remem-ber
Bud losing his temper during
an athletic contest.
This year Bud's most ardent fan
was his wife Joan, whom he mar-ried
last summer. They now make
their home on St. Anthony Blvd.
in St. Paul.

Types of Apologetics Systems is the title of the new book written
by Dr. Ramm, professor of philosophy at Bethel.
This book, "an introductory study of the Christian Philosophy of
Religion," was completed by the Christmas of 1951 and published this
month, February, 1953. It is a study of nine great philosophers of
religion, each representing a different approach to the subject of apolo-getics.
The book is divided into three sections of three men each.
Included are: Soren Kierkegaard, Thomas Aquinas, Edward John Car-nell,
and others.
Dr. Ramm dedicated the book to Rev. Eric N. Lindholm, pastor of
the Bethlehem Baptist church in Minneapolis, who read the entire
manuscript before it was published. Mr. Robert Otto, former assistant
professor of philosophy at Bethel, also helped in the reading of the
manuscript.
Problems in Christian Apologetics, another book by Dr. Ramm,
was published in 1947. He is now working on a book dealing with science
and the Bible.

Two Bethel Debate Teams Rank High
In Northwest Area College Meet
Two of our debate teams ranked Bethel over all twenty of the other
schools participating in the men's division of a tournament held at Con-cordia
College in Moorhead on February 6 and 7, The meet included
thirty-three teams from colleges
and universities in five states.
One Bethel team, Robert Hilton
and Wendell Anderson, was among
three to have six wins and no loss-es.
Since the other two (one from
North Dakota State Teacher's Col-lege
and the other from South
Dakota State Teacher's College)
had more points, Hilton and Anderson
received third place.
Roger Bergeson, Ronald Palosaari
and Don Richardson alternated
to comprise the other Bethel male
team. They won five out of six
rounds giving Bethel eleven wins
and one loss, a record unmatched
by any other school at the tournament.
At a women's tournament held
at the same time at Moorhead
State Teacher's College, Bethel's
freshmen girls won three out of
twelve debates in major competition.
The women debaters taking
part were: Gloria Nelson, Barbara
Ware, Jean Seldon, and Helen J.
Peterson.

Student Book Exchange
Is New Campus Service
Offered By Bookstore
Mrs. Walfred Peterson, manager
of the Bethel bookstore, announced
today the innovation of a used-book
exchange. The bookstore will have
a list of books which can be placed
on the Student Book Exchange
shelves.
Before the books can be placed
on the shelves, a blank must be
filled out and stapled to the fly-leaf
of the book. Mrs. Peterson said
that the usual reduction for a used
book is 25% of the original cost,
but the student sets the price he
wants for the book.
The handling charge for the ex-change
books is to be 10% of the
selling price of the book. After a
prescribed length of time, which
the bookstore will specify, all
books that haven't been sold must
be removed from the shelves and
the money for the books that have
been sold will be paid.
Books that will no longer be
used at Bethel can be sold to
wholesalers; this list will also be
in the bookstore.
The Student Book Exchange is
ready for operation immediately.
Coming from Chicago as guest
speakers are Dr. A. W. Tozer, pas-tor
of the large Missionary Alliance
church of South Chicago; and Dr.
Clarence Nelson, president of
North Park College. Rev. E. A.
Tebay of California, comes to speak
throughout the week on "Steward-ship"
and the implied Christian
responsibilities.
FACULTY MEMBERS
TO BE USED
Of the Bethel faculty, Dr. Ber-nard
Ramm and Dr. W. Robert
Smith, are scheduled for several
day sessions and one night session
each. Dr. Virginia Lowell Grabill
speaks at one day session at which
she will give "a layman's criticism
of the sermon." Dr. Grabill said
she will expose the dull uninspir-ing
sermon and give the pastors
hints on sharpening up the content
and the delivery of their sermons.
Other speakers to appear during
the week are Dr. Earl V. Pierce,
retired Minneapolis pastor, now a
prominent lecturer on Christian
dogma, and Dr. Curtis Akenson,
pastor of The First Baptist church
of Minneapolis.
PANEL IS FEATURED
A feature of the week's program
is a discussion panel scheduled for
the closing hour on Monday, Tues-day,
and Wednesday, when mem-bers
of the seminary faculty will
present discussion on contempor-ary
theological issues, possibly in-cluding
the history of Bible trans-lations.
BANQUET ON OPENING DAY
Rather than climaxing the week's
activities as it has in the past,
the usual Founder's Week banquet
is. on the opening day, Monday, at
6:00 p.m., at the Bethlehem Bap-tist
church, Minneapolis. Rev. Gor-don
Johnson, pastor of the Central
Ave. Baptist church of Chicago, is
the speaker.
BASKETBALL GAME INCLUDED
As part of the scheduled activi-ties
is a Bethel basketball game
against the Northwestern Schools
of Minneapolis, at 4:00 p.m. Thurs-day.
The purpose is to acquaint
the pastors with the facilities of
the new field-house auditorium.
Students are urged to attend as
well as visiting guests.
Chapel speakers, tentatively
planned for by Dr. Wingblade, will
be Dr. Ramm, Smith, Tozer, and
Nelson. All music for the week
will be provided for by the Bethel
choral groups.
Rev. E. A. Tebay
Conference Pastors Welcomed;
Annual Banquet Monday Night
Pastors from Conference churches throughout the land will be on
campus next week for the tenth annual Founder's Week observance.
Guest speakers as well as members of the Bethel faculty will bring
messages concerning the general theme—"Faithfulness to the Trust."
For the visiting pastors, each day starts with a 9 a.m. prayer forum
lasting until chapel time. Sessions will continue through the day,
until 5 p.m., separated by the usual class bells.
Only one evening session is planned each night this year. Starting
at 7:30 p.m., they will be held in different Twin City churches each
evening as follows: Monday—Bethlehem Baptist church, Minneapolis;
Tuesday—Payne Ave. Baptist church, St. Paul; Wednesday—Elim Bap-tist
church, Minneapolis; Thursday—Central Baptist church, St. Paul.
The climaxing service Friday night is tentatively planned for the
gymnasium auditorium on campus, however, a change might be an-nounced
during the week.

THE CLARION Friday, Feb. 13, 1953
Editorial
"Meet you in the student center," is a
reply that lately may be found coming
from the lips of most Bethelites. I have
received many comments and suggestions
concerning a name for our now-called "stu-dent
center."
First let us consider why the present
name is not adequate. We may boldly as-sert
that the student center is not entirely
a student center. Faculty members, ad-ministration,
and "friends of Bethel" spend
proportionally as much time in the center
as students. And to be sure the average
benevolent Bethel student wouldn't be-grudge
his superiors the luxurious and
beautiful facilities of the center.
Our dormitories each have the name of
one of our Founders. The use of these
names—Bodien, Hagstrom, and Edgren—in
connection with the buildings definitely
adds prestige to the college and all its
constituents. Our college, seminary, library
and fieldhouse have less distinguished
names. They are called the college, the
seminary, the library, and the fieldhouse,
respectively.
A customary practice of many institutions
is to honor a wealthy person who has do-nated
a large sum of money for the par-ticular
building, by naming it with his
family name. There has been, at least to
my knowledge, no such donation for our
student center so it would appear we would
have to look elsewhere.
The advertising staff of the CLARION
incorporated a proverbial saying, formulat-ed
by some girls in Bodien Residence, into
the student center advertisement by say-ing
"Where the Royals Roost." Whether the
name of Royal Roost should be adopted is
a question of less significance than the one
that would decide to have its present name
changed.
This observer is grateful to see some
initiative being exhibited by these Bodien
residents. Perhaps the English department
would object to "Royal Roost" since the
term is a mixed metaphore, but I am con-fident
those difficulties could be worked
out. I believe all Bethel would be grateful
if an organization or person took the initia-tive
to enact such a naming. Perhaps a
contest would provide a variety of names
from which one could be chosen.

Bethel Awaits North Central Association Decision
Ed. note: In response to a query concerning the examining committee from
the North Central Association the Editor received the following letter from Dean
C. E. Carlson.
Dear Roy:
Thank you for offering some space in your next issue in which to express
my viewpoints regarding the prospects of membership in the North Central As-sociation.
We are all interested in the program of the school because—well, just
because we are Bethelites, and all Bethelites are interested in their school.
The grapevine is not always wrong. The genial guests of this ,
week were examining representatives of the North Central Associa-tion.
They spent two days with us and, undoubtedly, heard and
saw a great many things during those days, including some un-made
beds. Their observations will be turned into a written re-port
during the next several weeks and as such will be made
available to the Association's Board of Review, which already has
collected much information about the school.
Those of us who know most about the criteria being used, and
about the strengths and the weaknesses of our own school are
keeping our minds open as to how soon our new four-year college
program will be ready for admission to the North Central. We be-lieve
that our students too are with us in this open-mindedness.
Everybody knows that we have a good student body, and the examiners were
duly impressed. We know too that we do have a good faculty, even though some
of them are neither bald nor bearded. We do have a splendid library—it has
books, and the like—and it is paid for too! Our new fieldhouse is excellent, but
it is not all paid for as yet. Obviously, we as an administration are an unknown
quantity, but so are all administrations—even at Washington. Our courses are
solid, well-organized, and challenging, but we do not offer nearly as much as Sears
Roebuck catalog.
As we look backwards, we are amazed to see how the Lord has led and pro-vided.
As we look forward, our concern is that we might be faithful. Fortunately,
the value of the students educational experiences on campus, whether seen in
terms of lives or in terms of transcripts, is not at stake. The only question is—how
fast is the Lord leading into wider spheres of service? Toward the finding of the
Lord's answer to that question we know that we have the united prayers and
efforts of students, faculty, administration, board, and a host of friends from
coast to coast.

6144 gefitide4 by Dr. Virgil A. Olson
In the later part of the nineteenth century, an ancient manuscript was dis-covered
in Egypt by some English research scholars. The treasure of the manu-script
remained hidden because there was much disagreement among the translators
as to the actual meaning of the hieroglyphics. Finally, it was suggested that a copy
of the manuscript be sent to an able scholar of Egyptology in America, namely
John Alexis Edgren. After careful study, Edgren submitted a translation which
the English scholars immediately approved; so much so, that the Archbishop of
Canterbury wrote a letter to Edgren commending
him on his masterful translation. Edgren, the
founder of Bethel, was an intellectual giant. The
son of this Conference Baptist pioneer testifies
that his father knew sixteen spoken and sixteen
unspoken languages.
Edgren had a tremendous capacity for work.
in the early days of the Seminary history, most
of the subjects were taught by its leader. Beside
the heavy teaching program, Edgren found time
and energy to be the pastor of the First Swedish
Baptist Church of Chicago, the editor of the
first denominational paper of our Conference;
and he took courses in Greek and Hebrew,
as well as a review of Higher Mathematics at
the University of Chicago. Edgren was a giant
in zealous toil and industry.
One morning Edgren came to his class at the
Seminary and expressed deep concern for the
future of the school. Funds were desperately
needed. That day studies were laid aside, and
prayer was made unto the living God to supply
the needs. The students became anxious over
the teacher's condition and went to his home
and learned that their leader had received_no salary for two months. Their first
impulse was to write to the people in the churches and tell of the needs, but
Edgren reminded them that they had prayed, and that was enough. The following
day the instructor appeared bright and happy. "Brethren," he said, "God has heard
our prayers, we now have received money." This was not an isolated incident,
but a daily experience. Bethel was born and nurtured in prayer. Edgren was a
spiritual giant of faith.
"There were giants in the earth in those days." One man with gigantic intel-lectual
and spiritual capacities laid the foundaion of our school as a wise master
builder. The words of the Apostle, consequently, are significant for the present
generation. "Let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon."

Said the great Samuel Johnson: "Your
friendship, sir, must be kept in constant
repair."
I am sure that all our pastors, young and
a little older, realize that. And that is one
reason why they gather at Bethel for Foun-der's
Week each year—to fellowship anew
with former classmates and fellow mini-sters.
It warms the heart and instills added
courage.
But there must be
something more. They
want messages that stir
and challenge as they
are aware that their vo-cation
is no ordinary
one but requires a con-stant
surcharging of
eternal varieties and a
new infilling from Him
who said, "Except ye
eat my flesh and drink
my blood ye have no
life in you."
And then for their service they are to
be reminded again that they themselves
must be "broken bread and poured out
wine" if they are to be the means of bring-ing
new life to others.
We thank God for the splendid speakers
who are to present the messages, and for
those who are to be "hearers and doers"
of the Word. But we are most thankful
for Him who alone is able to bring these
things about, and to bless.
And so may we truly exalt Him in every
session of the Founder's Week program—
and deep in our hearts.
A sincere welcome on the part of all
Bethel to every visitor. Welcome to all
that the campus can offer, to every session,
to the new student center, and welcome to
mingle for a while with the throbbing
young life on our campus—the most prec-ious
treasure under Christ that our Con-ference
affords.

It was a beautiful morning. The sail was
smiling brightly through the fleecy, white
clouds in the blue, blue sky.
Robby awoke with a start. Why here the
day was almost one-fourth gone and in-'
stead of being busy about his work, he was
wasting the time sleeping. He started to
go back to sleep, but then arose with a
start—why he had almost forgotten. This
was the day—the day in which he was to
make one of the most important decisions
of his life. This was the day his mom and
dad had been telling him about for days,
weeks, yes, and even months. How he had
waited for the day with a mixed emotion
of fear and anxiety.
Anxiety because if he was successful in
his adventure, it would mean happiness
and joy for the rest of his life. And—if
he failed—Oh—the thought of it just made
his skinny, little legs tremble. If he failed,
he would be very unhappy and lonely.
When Robby looked up into the sky, he
saw Old Mr. Sun just smiling at him in such
an encouraging way that he hopped up
quickly, determined to succeed. Robby
knew that first impressions were very im-portant
so he looked for the biggest, fattest
gift he could find and then started on
his way.
He was hopping along singing a gay little
ditty when all of a sudden he saw her.
Robby knew in a minute she was for him—
and suddenly he wasn't even frightened
anymore. He just hopped right up to her,
gave her his gift, and in less than half an
hour they were flying over to Rev. Love-bird's
house to hear him say—"I now pro-nounce
you Mr. and Mrs. Robin Redbreast."
Yes, fantastic though it may seem, the
idea behind this little fictitious incident
was the beginning of our Valentine's Day.
It was an ancient belief that the birds
mated on the second fort-night of the sec-ond
month of the year.
"For this was on seynt Valentynes day,"
wrote Chaucer in the "Parle.ment of
Foules," "when every foul cometh ther to
chese his make." Because of this ancient
belief, for many years it has been the cus-tom
in many countries to send Valentines
to the one we wish to please.

Dear Editor,
What happened to the Arts
Club? Why has it become disorgan-ized?
Is there any hope of reviving
it?
The Arts Club was organized in
the fall of 1951, as an outgrowth
of the "Lads and Lassies" and
"Lords and Ladies." They were
collegiate social societies, begun in
1948 and dissolved by the student
council in 1951 on the grounds
that there was too much competi-tive
spirit and that they did not
fulfill their intended cultural pur-pose.
It seems to me that this kind of
a spirit would serve as an incen-tive
to the club leaders to really
plan and make their meetings as
interesting as possible. If the meet
ings amounted to something and
were profitable for the students,
there would be no problem of get-ting
them interested in the club.
Since it began in the fall of
1951, the Arts Club suffered and
finally died from a lack of leader-ship.
This lack came not only from
the student body, but also from
the faculty, who, I'm quite sure,
recognize the need for a cultural
club of this sort on our campus.
We are told ever so often that we
need to be well rounded culturally
—and we do—but what have we
done to bring this culture within
the grasp of the students?
A feeble attempt was made in
the person of the Arts Club—and
frankly, it flopped.
The Arts Club is dead. Other
schools have profitable cultural
clubs—but not Bethel. We seem to
be satisfied with little more than
our language clubs and a pepless
pep club.
We need the Arts Club at Beth-el.
But it's dead, so what are we
going to do about it?

SWEDISH CLUB
The Swedish Club recently made
a visit to the American-Swedish
Institute in Minneapolis for their
monthly meeting. This institute is
the former home of a Swedish
newspaper man, built exclusively
of materials sent from Sweden.
The carvings in the woodwork were
done over a period of six years by
fifteen professional carvers, and
all the woodwork is mahogany or
bleached mahogany and walnut.
Typical Swedish rooms were dis-played
and against this display is
the featuring of modern Swedish
furnishings including electrical
equipment, wood carvings, and
furniture.
After a two-hour tour of this
mansion, the students followed the
Swedish tradition of "coffee and
doughnuts" before returning to
Bethel.
GERMAN CLUB
Club members will give a skit
from the one act play, "Einer
Muss Heiraten!" (One Must Marry)
by Alexander Wilhemi at the Ger-man
club meeting Wednesday, Feb-ruary
25. In the comedy, two bach-elors,
Jakob (Phil Caldeen) and
Wilhem (Dexter Kile) will inherit
a fortune if one of them marries.
Both are devout students, interest-ed
only in books. Tante (Joyce
Martinson) influences them and in
the end they both want to marry
Louise (Martha Tieszen).
Shirley Kilgore and Frank Voth
will sing solos at this meeting
which will be held following the
lunch hour in the lounge of Bodien
residence.
For the purpose of enhancing
the library, a member of the Beth-el
faculty has contributed money
for the planters which have been
placed in the front of the library.
These planters not only serve as
means of decoration and a fine
separation for the magazine sec-tion,
but they are also for the dis-play
of books. On the bottom of
one planter is found a / group of
books mainly for recreational read-ing,
whereas the other shelf con-tains
new books which have just
arrived in the library.
In addition to these planters, the
library will also receive framed,
colored prints which will be hung
in appropriate places above book
shelves.
Not included in the donation to
the library, but a new purchase, is
the 11-foot index table which will
be placed at the top of the stair-way
to the stacks. This table will
have space for the different per-iodical
indexes as well as for
atlases.
Also being installed soon will be
the new periodical rack in the
seminary section, making possible
more room for magazines.
The recent displays on the stand
above the reference shelves have
included new books, music, art,
and the current feature is the
pamphlets available to students.
The reason for these displays is to
acquaint students with library
equipment and services available
through the library.
The CLARION staff in apprecia-tion,
on behalf of all Bethel, says,
"Thanks, Dr. Bob, for the beauti-ful
planters."

Plan For Meeting
by Fred Thomas
Hey fellas! Are you interested
in badminton, volleyball, handball
and softball? Our spring Intramur-al
program will soon be getting
under way and we would appreci-ate
your interest in it, as your
interest has been in basketball.
We would like to have each pre-sent
team select a representative
to attend a meeting, which will be
announced soon, at which we will
discuss the possibilities of an all-out
spring program. Norris Mag-nuson
and Arvid Berg will conduct
the business, but any idea or sug-gestion
will be gladly accepted and
will be talked over with the
representatives. You tell us what
you want and we will try to plan
accordingly.
Oh, yes! Iowa remained in first
place by defeating West. Mich.-
Wise., East and West are tied for
second, followed by Minnesota in
third and last but not least is the
mighty m ini.

The Bethel Girls' Basketball
team made a good showing last
Tuesday night when they
squeezed by Northwestern in an
exciting 18-17 game. This was the
second game of the season, the
first game being a loss to the First
Baptist team.
Wednesday night our team de-feated

Many girls have gone out for

Games with various church and

once every week. The team is
coached by Bob Sandin, seminary
senior.
Northland Downs
Blue and Gold
Last Saturday evening Northland
college of Ashland, Wisconsin, de-feated
the Royals, 70-67, in a last
minute thriller.
A tight zone defense and control
of the backboards kept the Bethel
five guessing during the entire con-test.
Olson and Durkin led the North-land
attack with 18 and 17 points,
respectively. Pete Unruh scored 23
for the home team to take over
the individual scoring race and
Paul Redin tallied 16.

Bombers Defeat
Fourth Baptist
The Bombers carried their win-ning
streak to two in a row last
Thursday night by defeating the
Fourth Baptist church team 62-51
in a game witnessed by only a
handful of spectators. Coach Fisch-er
thought some of his boys be-longed
in the circus as he watched
them clown around on the hard-wood
courts trying to impersonate
the famed Globe-trotters. Big Jim
MacFayden continued to look like
a ball player as he dropped in 19
points and rebounded with sup-reme
accuracy.
This Saturday night. the Bomb-ers
will be playing Elim Baptist
men's team which has as two of
its star players Dick "Bones"
Bandy and Don "Dead-eye" Dye.
Although Elim will probably be
the underdog, the Jr. Varsity will
have to play keen basketball in
order to secure their third victory
in a row. Game begins at 6:15.
Bethel led throughout most of
the contest but Northland took
over in the final quarter and the
Blue and Gold were unable to
catch the opponents.
even the score.
The other reason for seeking
vengance is the loss handed the
Royals by the wood cutters last
Saturday night at Northland, 70-67.
Northland's zone defense, effec-tive
in bottling up Bethel's center,
Paul Redin, last Saturday, has been
one of the objectives to overcome
in practice sessions this week.
The Lumberjacks claim an inch
and a half advantage per player
in heighth which is effective in
controlling the rebounds. Defen-sively
the Royals held their own
against the Northmen Saturday but
found trouble in getting their
share of offensive rebounds.
Tom Mason, deadly set-shot art-ist
on the Northland team is the
main scoring threat. He leads a
well balanced scoring attack from
the forward slot.
Bethel's record now stands at
nine defeats and seven wins and
a victory tomorrow night will aid
in attaining more wins than losses.
Jim MacFayden, quickly improv-ing
Bethel center, who played his
first varsity game last Saturday
may see action again tomorrow
night.
Northwestern Schools of Min-neapolis
and the Bethel Royals
continue their rivalry next
Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. in
the campus gymnasium as a
Founder's Week attraction.
Lumberjacks and Royals
Clash Tomorrow Night
Tomorrow night at 8:15 when the Northland Lumberjacks invade
the Bethel gymnasium the Royals will be out for "double revenge."
Northland, one of Bethel's top rivals, now holds a four to three
victory advantage over the Royals in past seasons play and the Blue
For the remainder of the basketball season the Royals
without the services of their star guard and co-captain, Bud
Bud has found it necessary to quit basketball to devote more
his studies and to his work.
Bud has played for the Blue and
Gold for the past four seasons and
is in all likelihood the best all-around
player to ever don a Bethel
uniform.
In his first season at Bethel, Bud
played varsity ball along with Ken
Greenman, Gordy Wood, B u d
Bjorndahl and Don Peterson under
coach Paul Edwards. Two years
ago he captained the Bethel team
and was elected by his teammates
to serve as co-captain this year
along with Pete Unruh.
Standing only 5'8" tall, Bud has
harrassed opponents by his ball-hawking
and ball-handling and has
always been a scoring threat. Bud's
14.8 point average led the Royals
in scoring two years ago.
Bethel players respect him, not
only for his playing ability but also
for his sportsmanship and self-con-trol.
Seemingly most effective un-der
pressure, Bud's teammates can
testify that they can never remem-ber
Bud losing his temper during
an athletic contest.
This year Bud's most ardent fan
was his wife Joan, whom he mar-ried
last summer. They now make
their home on St. Anthony Blvd.
in St. Paul.
